Inductive Method as Dialogue: State and Church

Abstract

<p>The question of the relationship of Christianity to culture, as a challenge to the intermediate relations of modern society, was especially present at the beginning of the twentieth century, and contributed to the publications of Pope Pius XII during his pontificate. The Church, as a determinant in the cultural sense, contributes to the empowerment of society, while in the capacity of self-determination the strength of its internal sphere and the spiritual self-awareness of the individual. On May 16, 2019, the Government established the Bill on Freedom of Religion or Belief and the Legal Status of Religious Communities, emphasizing the duty to establish the cultural and civil identity of Montenegro. The problematic-systematic relationship between the state and the church, in terms of the ambivalent category of law and theology, reconciles the philosophical aspect as a constructive dialogue. In contrast to the rigid ecclesiastical science of scholasticism, the founding of modern thought and the modern state has also led to a rational consciousness that follows historical trends, necessitating the explicit question of the church as an authority, which now has the potential for a diplomatic role in the inevitability of modern society. Through this work, the state and the church are placed on the line of empirical relation, on the middle of which is the result of the inductive method as reflection. Therefore, the relationship of the state and the church in terms of the productivity of a society implies the integration of the scientific method, which as a product has the experimental result of possible solutions. ,,Sir Francis Becon (1561-1626), English statesman and philosopher, strongly supported the advancement of science and the scientific method ... Because of his commitment to the scientific method, he is deservedly considered a prophet of modern sci1 Peri, Marvin: Intelektualna istorija Evrope, Clio, 2000, str. 115, MARIJANA ZEČEVIĆ: Induktivna metoda kao dijalog: država i crkva ence .... which Bacon advocated as a path to truth and useful knowledge was an inductive approach.“ So the question of the church in this paper is given methodologically, as a result of the scientific aspect.</p>
